Some of you may recall that Ragnorak used to do a very enjoyable countdown thread. Essentially, the game is based on the UK TV show. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a words and numbers game.

Firstly, you are given a selection of nine letters from which you will construct the longest word you can that is acceptable to the New Oxford Dictionary ...[text shortened]... and then post a number round; or this thread will die a death and I will be driven to drink.

Using the factor method:

Bit easy since it is divisble by 3 and 7 and hence 21.
